Dial Code Santa Claus
36.15 code Père Noël
Thomas de Frémont, a precocious child obsessed with action films, sets himself up for a terrifying Christmas Eve after he unwittingly makes contact with a deranged psychopath who claims he's Santa Claus.
Why it matters
A twisted holiday nightmare where a kid’s action-hero fantasies collide with a homicidal Santa’s bloody rampage.
- Combines the mischievous spirit of Home Alone with Rambo-style shootouts and a John Wick level of relentless violence.
- A rare ’90s European slasher that leans into dark humor and suspense rather than cheap jump scares.
- The precocious kid protagonist turns typical holiday innocence on its head, making for a fresh, if uneven, take on Christmas horror.
- Not for those expecting nonstop thrills—slow build in the first act gives way to genuinely tense, chaotic sequences later.
